Embargo

The French spirits company Les Bienheureux, based in Paris, has released this delicious white rum. Embargo Anejo Blanco Rum is based on an exquisite blend of young rums from various Caribbean countries, including Guatemala, Trinidad & Tobago, Martinique, and Cuba. These rums underwent column still distillation and were subsequently aged in oak barrels in their respective countries of origin. The result is an excellent, complex white rum blend with a harmonious character and well-integrated alcohol, offering the connoisseur a smooth, warm, and authentic drinking experience. The nose detects fresh grassy notes, sweet, fresh sugarcane, and fruity lime. Sweet notes of fruit, vanilla, and honey mingle with a touch of pepper and a subtle hint of oak. On the palate, it is robust and full-bodied. Beautiful sweet, fresh, and dry flavors develop with traces of oak, leading into a medium-length, warm, and smooth finish. It is recommended to enjoy this Blanco Rum in long drinks or cocktails such as "Mojito", "Cuba Libre" or "Pina Colada".

Embargo Añejo Esplendido Rum is a blend of young and aged rums from the Caribbean countries of Guatemala, Martinique, Trinidad & Tobago, and Cuba. The blend is composed of three distinct base products: distillates of fresh sugarcane juice, virgin sugarcane honey, and sugarcane molasses. These are distilled in column stills and subsequently aged in oak barrels in their respective countries of origin. The result is a unique, magnificent, amber-colored rum creation from the Caribbean, wonderfully smooth and balanced, which successfully expands the Embargo brand. The nose detects an aromatic palette of caramel and vanilla, followed by nuts and exotic fruits. A pleasant sweetness unfolds on the palate with beautifully balanced notes of caramel, vanilla, sugarcane syrup, and exotic spices, underscored by a hint of wood. The finish of this exceptional Añejo Esplendido Rum is pleasantly smooth and long. It is ideal for enjoying neat or in interesting cocktails.

Embargo Añejo Extra Rum is an artfully crafted blend of rums from Guatemala, Trinidad & Tobago, Martinique, and Cuba. This fusion of diverse Caribbean regions yields a unique style, further refined by aging in former Cognac casks—a rum with depth, character, and elegance that embodies the richness of Caribbean rum traditions. Its warm amber color hints at its maturity and finesse. On the nose, complex aromas of ripe fruit, dark chocolate, cocoa, and a touch of citrus zest unfold. On the palate, it is velvety, balanced, and multifaceted: notes of honey, pear, melon, orange, and subtle hints of tobacco combine to create a harmonious whole. The sweetness remains pleasantly restrained, the structure soft and rounded with a long finish. Whether enjoyed neat at 18°C, on the rocks, or as a sophisticated component in an Old Fashioned or Rum Manhattan, this rum brings depth to every glass. An ideal companion for connoisseurs, rum lovers and cocktail enthusiasts who are looking for something special.
